Curious about breeding, good idea?

Theres really two options, people breeding for hobby or people breeding as a business that is something that is your decision. Mike Wilbanks video is a great example of operating as a business. This industry is like any other business it takes time to mature, however, like any other business you must be capable of absorbing alot of costs for however long the amount of time it takes for you to begin seeing a return. How long? That depends on what you put into the initial investment and what level you can come into the market. I have had a few business' in the past and have done well but I have never seen anything quite like the potential returns on an initial investment like the potential one can have with ball pythons. Some people have the mindset once they start breeding that by breeding and selling they are going wake up to a pot of gold overnight, it doesnt happen quite like that ( I'm in it 5 years, and will finally be in the green this year) but my collection grows every year, I have more for sale every year, and I hold back more each year , so while my "potential to earn," increases every year, so does my cost. Personally I think the sky is the limit with anything that someone chooses to do whether it's a rocket scientist or a mechanic as long as they have the dedication and are willing to put in the work to make it happen having a little bit of business sense does not hurt either. Theres a ton of different variables in the industry risks, loss, profit etc. as with any business.Owning or operating a business is not for everyone.
